Shell scores 17/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places Shell joint 792nd of 809 companies scored, and joint 9th of 14 in Oil & Gas.
Shell maintains massive fossil fuel operations while claiming net-zero transition, relying on intensity targets, carbon offsets, and selective Scope 3 reporting to obscure continued expansion. Scope 1+2 reductions are largely portfolio-driven divestments. The company actively opposes climate policy through trade associations and uses phantom carbon credits to greenwash liquefied natural gas growth.
